Court Upholds Law Limiting Wisconsin Governor

“The Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld lame-duck laws Friday that limit the power of the state’s new Democratic governor, handing Republicans a victory in one of several legal fights over the laws,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

“In Friday’s 4-3 decision, conservatives on the state’s high court found lawmakers were allowed to bring themselves into session in December to trim the authority of Gov. Tony Evers and Attorney General Josh Kaul just before they took office.”
